The benefits of owning a pet are rewarding because they are loyal and they add a sense of companionship to our lives. Simply by interacting with our pets can help with lowering blood pressure, cholesterol, and even releasing the endorphins that cause us to relax and feel good.

As pet owners, we all want to bring our beloved pets with us anywhere we go. Unfortunately, not every place is pet friendly and we have to leave poor Fido at home. But luckily, there are a few restaurants, beaches and parks that allow our four-legged friends to join us here in South Jersey!

Last week we discovered America's favorite dog breed was the Labrador Retriever for the 25th year in a row. That prompted us to ask you to share a photo of you favorite four-legged friend and boy did you deliver!
